ROME, Ga. - North Florida women's tennis Aryana Bartlett and Gabby Goyins closed out their 2026 fall season with a semifinal appearance at the ITA Conference Masters Championship, held at the Rome Tennis Center from Nov. 5-8.

Representing North Florida and the Atlantic Sun Conference, the juniors earned three consecutive doubles victories, including wins over the No. 2 and No. 5 seeded pairings, to advance to the semifinals. Bartlett and Goyins finished the tournament with a 3-1 record, falling just short of reaching the championship match.

The Ospreys opened tournament play on Thursday, Nov. 5, with a three-set victory over No. 2 seed Jessica Bernales and Olivia Center of UCLA, 3-6, 6-3, (11-9). After dropping the opening set, Bartlett and Goyins rallied to take the second before securing the match in a third-set tiebreaker.

The duo followed with another three-set comeback victory on Saturday, defeating No. 5 seed Tania Isabel Andrade Sabando and Andrea Magallanes of VCU, 2-6, 6-3, (10-6), to secure a spot in the semifinals.

The pairing's tournament run came to an end on Sunday, Nov. 8, falling to No. 5 seed Kyoka Kubo and Polina Koneva of Kansas, 6-2, 7-5. The semifinal appearance capped a strong showing for the Ospreys against nationally competitive doubles pairings.

Bartlett and Goyins finished the fall season with a 7-1 doubles record as a pairing, highlighted by the top doubles flight championship at the Bedford Cup from Sept. 25-27. The duo went undefeated at 4-0 during the tournament, earning victories over Florida Atlantic, Florida Gulf Coast, Stetson and Florida State, including an 8-5 victory over the Seminoles in the championship match.

Individually, Goyins finished the fall with an 8-2 singles record and an 11-3 doubles record across multiple pairings. The junior captured the top singles flight championship at the Georgia Southern Fall Shootout on Oct. 25, finishing undefeated at 3-0.
